| <!-- ********************************************************************** --> |
| |
| <p>A framework-specific subclass of CoreException has been introduced in order to allow IDelegate implementations |
| a way to signal that an exception is expected. An example of an expected exception is when a user |
| declines to make a necessary file writable. Marking an exception as expected can be used as a signal |
| by handlers to alter the way the exception is presented to the user (perhaps not displaying the |
| stack trace and/or not logging it).</p> |

| <!-- ********************************************************************** --> |
| |
| <p>It is often desirable to batch IWorkspace.validateEdit() calls in order to reduce the number |
| of prompts to the user. An API has been added to allow a facet action to specify the files that |
| it intends to operate on. The framework will make a batched call to validateEdit prior to running |
| any of the actions.</p> |
